Genesis 19:24-26.

“For the sake of ten I will not destroy it.”
But not even ten righteous souls could be found in either Sodom, or Gomorrah.

Likewise, just as it was in the days of Lot—they were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building, but on the day when Lot went out from Sodom, fire and sulfur rained from heaven and destroyed them all— so will it be on the day when the Son of Man is revealed.

On that day, let the one who is on the housetop, with his goods in the house, not come down to take them away, and likewise let the one who is in the field not turn back. Remember Lot's wife. Whoever seeks to preserve his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life will keep it.

Commentary from Luke 17:28-33.

“The eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is whole toward him.” 2 Chronicles 16:9

God’s care is first to His children.

To those who mock the ‘foolishness of the Cross’, wondering why He doesn’t show himself to them, is it any wonder? All are welcome at His table. Accept His gift, let Him in to your heart.

1 Corinthians 6:19-20

Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.

Isaiah 42:14–16

I will lay waste mountains and hills, and dry up all their vegetation; I will turn the rivers into islands, and dry up the pools. And I will lead the blind in a way that they do not know, in paths that they have not known I will guide them.

I will turn the darkness before them into light, the rough places into level ground. These are the things I do, and I do not forsake them.

Isaiah 39:6

Behold, the days are coming, when all that is in your house, and that which your fathers have stored up till this day, shall be carried to Babylon. Nothing shall be left, says the Lord.

Genesis 15:6 Abram is counted righteous by faith, not deeds.

One of the most important passages in the Old Testament. Righteousness in the OT was demonstrated by adherence to the law. But Abram is counted righteous by faith, before he'd proven by work.

Genesis 13:14-15 God's promise to Abram.

All the land that you see I will give to you and to your offspring forever. I will make your offspring as the dust of the earth, so that if one can count the dust of the earth, your offspring also can be counted.

Isaiah 27:1

In that day, the Lord will punish with his sword–
his fierce, great and powerful sword–
Leviathan the gliding serpent, Leviathan the coiling serpent;
he will slay the monster of the sea.
